This has been popping up here and there for a while, and yes, it is pretty cool.
Retired, on the downhill slide. . . . . . . . still feels like going uphill!

I had not seen this before and yes pretty cool  :D Impressive gyro tests simulating being knocked about without tipping over.  If they can get the price to what they hope there might be a chance. I also wonder if it will achieve their target range.

I want one as a car replacement (especially in the winter), but I think I would miss the man/machine interface of a traditional motorcycle. There's something satisfying about it that I can't explain.

I haven't tried one, but I don't even think I'd like the clutchless shifting and automatic brake proportioning on some of the newer bikes.

Yup, it would be akin to riding in a cage. You'd no longer be a brother of the wind!  :D
